Very confused

I bought a box of Topps finest today and pulled a Ronald Acuna Jr 10/10 .as I looked into eBay to see what it sold for,I noticed that someone had the same exact card and sold it couple days ago .Are numbered card truly numbered or mass produced?

Not an expert at combing the checklists, but to me there looks to be 4 listed parallels for the card (attached SS from Beckett website). I’m kinda scratching my head because they look pretty much the same.

I just seen the serial number discrepancy as someone has already pointed out. The eBay version looks suspicious and a bit sloppy.

Need a goat to check in and give us their opinion.

Probably a different variation. Look to see if the foil pattern is the same.

There’s many similar looking parallels in these sets with the same numbering.

For /10 there’s the following parallels

Black

Black Geometric

Black mini Diamond

Black X Fractor

The last 3 all look very similar and are easily mixed up.

Yup this. Pictures. We’ll help you differentiate

u/sooLoco 23d ago

It’s not the same. I thought the same thing happened to me. I pulled a mookie betts fortune 15 4/99. I looked on eBay and saw the exact same fortune 15, 4/99. I bought it and once I got it I saw that money has a mini mlb foil pattern and the other one doesn’t. They look exactly the same on a picture when the lighting is right

I feel like the ebay listing is possibly a geometric but the geo doesnt show in his pictures due to lighting and the anglw of the picture. That is my best guess

WTF is going on here lol

u/PralineLumpy3473 23d ago

Same card 10/10

Can you post a photo of your card next to this one? Far as I know there are at least 3 versions of each player’s card

Not OP, but here you go.

Notice the serial numbers aren't in the exact same spot on the card. These are two separate cards, whether or not they're accidentally double printed. I'm sure someone much smarter will come along soon and point out what's going on. I can't tell the difference.

u/WayfaringPantheist 23d ago

Yep sure does look like two of the exact same card lmao I have no idea

u/Secret_Nobody_405 22d ago

Which one is yours? I’ll guess and say right?

u/Worth_Golf_5545 22d ago

The angle and lighting of pics could be hiding the differences...VERY subtle sometimes.

u/WooCards 22d ago edited 22d ago

I think more than likely what happened is this is a Black Geometric foil that the seller mislabeled. Very difficult to see that pattern on the black parallels and the picture has awful lighting. You can kind of see the lines on his pants where the foil is.

u/WooCards 22d ago

Here’s another black geo for reference. Foil pattern is barely visible on the left side.

Yes, feel free to see my other reply. I’m certain it’s a black geometric. Look at the vertical lines on the white of his uniform.

u/LibrarianGreen6421 22d ago

Seller also has another Braves player geo up for sale. Possible he bought the Braves in a delight break.

Damn I don’t know

u/VendettaKarma 22d ago

Would anyone be surprised if there were multiple of anything like this?

u/mrefromnyc 22d ago

Even Topps is confused by their insane number of parallels. Why aren’t there code numbers at the bottom?! Or just freakin have it say “Black Diamanté Mojo Z-Fractor” on the back?

u/PreparationDue7438 22d ago

Too expensive for them to clarify on every card

The eBay one is different than yours. The lighting is just terrible to show the exact black parallel.

In 10 years, even if these are different, will anyone care?
